This site gives details of the waters and activities of Newton Abbot Fishing Association, a coarse angling club based in South Devon, UK.

The Association has the fishing rights to over twenty waters in the Newton Abbot area. We currently have in excess of 800 full members, numerous associate members and issue around 1200 day tickets annually. The waters of the Association offer some of the best coarse fishing in Devon, consistently producing specimen fish in idyllic environments.

The Association has been in existence since the early 1920's, with most of the waters being created as the excavation of the local clay and gravel deposits came to an end; primarily these workings were at the Rackerhayes complex just outside Newton Abbot. Over the years the club has gradually grown and acquired more waters in the surrounding area.

In the last ten years the membership numbers have consistently increased, there are more match teams associated with the club and the quality of the fish stock has dramatically improved; the waters are renowned for some truly specimen fish with tench to nearly 12lb, bream to10lb, perch to 5lb and numerous carp that are 30lbs plus.

Please note that at the last Annual General Meeting members of the Association voted to make Dores a Full Members only water. This will come into effect from January 1st 2009. Island Pond becomes open to all Members, and those with a Day Ticket, at the same time.
